From Sarah's Long Walk to Sarah's Long Bus Ride: How a Young Girl Changed Boston's Education System

Since its founding, Boston has had a strong focus on public education, but not everyone had access to the same education. A young girl, named Sarah Roberts, forced Bostonians to acknowledge this inequality when she and her father sued the city of Boston because of the inequality in the education system. In the 1960's and 1970's, Boston was forced to revisit these ideas of inequality when "busing" began. This program invites members of the education community to discuss how women, like Sarah, inspire them to provide an immeasurable service for all of our children across the Commonwealth.
